Diary

May is one of those months where I never remember if it has 30 or 31 days. As it turns out, it has 31. And so today is the last day of May. We've been on summer vacation for a week and it has been glorious. And even though summer school starts on Monday, I keep telling myself it will still be an easier routine than the normal school year. (Several of you asked last week, Caroline is taking Read More

Well, we are officially out of school for the summer. Except that Caroline is going to summer school during June. She's super excited about that except for the opposite of excited. But we are going to enjoy the next ten days of sleeping in and being on a summer schedule. Also, I cried real tears looking at graduation pictures on Facebook last night so that really bodes well for how well I'll Read More

Here's the best thing I can say about this week. I survived it. We had soccer banquet Monday then I drove to Dallas on Tuesday for an event on Tuesday night and Wednesday. Then I got home at almost 10 p.m. Wednesday night and Caroline had to bring donuts to school and be there by 7:00 a.m. Thursday for her World History AP exam. Now, in all fairness, P got up and went to Shipley's and brought Read More

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. And, just remember, you can buy yourself a Mother's Day present even if you aren't a mom. My motto is to do what Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle would do and TREAT YO'SELF. via GIPHY As for me, I'll be spending my Mother's Day doing what I do almost every day of my life, watching Caroline play soccer. On Sunday we get to drive to Houston and Read More

Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. relipop sheer chiffon kimono So there was this darling sheer kimono on the Nordstrom website earlier this week and I was so excited to Read More

So we have another three day weekend this weekend because it's Fiesta in San Antonio. This means there are a lot of parties and parades and all manner of other festivities. I basically participate in zero of these things because I like being home and away from crowds. However, I do enjoy the three day weekend and I will celebrate with a lot of Netflix and sleeping in. That's really my ideal Read More

I'm putting this up a little early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Here are some cute things I found this week. 1. ae tomgirl denim bermuda shorts I bought these online last week and was a little skeptical about how I'd feel about the longer length. Here's the verdict: They feel like butter and I've already ordered a second pair because I know I will live in them this summer. They Read More

So we are in the middle of soccer playoffs here and so we are a little focused on that. The team parents even had fat heads made of the girls for the upcoming game and I'm already so excited about all the potential ways I can use it to embarrass Caroline. I mean I would never intentionally embarrass her, but the fact I can act like I'm going to tape her fathead up on the back of my car window is Read More
